Speedometer

The speed is indicated in miles per hour (outside scale) and
kilometers per hour (inside).

Odometer

The numbers on the odometer indicate miles.
The odometer registers total distance traveled, and serves as your
guide for determining when periodic maintenance is due. Federal law makes it illegal to alter the odometer of any motor vehicle with the
intent to change the number of miles indicated.

Trip Meter
The numbers on the trip meter indicate miles.
The trip meter can be returned to zero by pushing in the resetbutton. Use it for checking fuel consumption or distance traveled per trip.

Tachometer
The tachometer indicates engine speed in revolutions per minute.The beginning of the RED ZONE indicates the maximum allowable
engine R.P.M. Do not run the engine with the tachometer indicator
needle in the RED ZONE.

Fuel Gauge
FUEL TANK CAPACITY: 60 l (15.9 US gal, 13.2 Imp gal)
As a convenience, the gauge continues to show the same fuel level as when the ignition was last on. After refueling, the gauge will
slowly change to the new fuel level when the ignition is switched on.
When the needle first indicates E (empty), you have a usable reserve left in the tank of about:
4 l
(1.1
US gal, 0,9 Imp gal)
Coolant Temperature GaugeCAUTION:
The needle should stay within the white range. If the needle reaches the red line at "H" (Hot), pull safely off the road, stop the
engine and check the coolant level in the reserve tank on the passenger side of the radiator under the hood.
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. The
coolant is under pressure and may blow out and scald you.

CLEAN Indicator Light
After 50 hours of cassette tape play, the light will come on as a reminder to clean the tape heads. If the light comes on and the tape
heads were not cleaned at the recommended 30 hours of usage (see maintenance section below), they should be cleaned immediately.
To reset, push the indicator for a minimum of five seconds until the light goes off.

Defective Tape Eject

The tape player includes a protection mechanism to automatically eject defective tapes (warped housing, loose label, faulty tape movement) immediately upon insertion, if a tape malfunctions while
in play, the tape direction will change back and forth and then e|ect
the cassette. Tapes ejected before play should be considered faulty and discarded; tapes ejected during play may only be unevenly
wound and could be re-usable if fully rewound, manually, outside the player.
NOTE:
The tape player may repeat cycle through the loading and unloading
motion several times in an effort to eject a faulty tape. During this
process the tape will either eject fully or rise to the loading level and
have to be pulled out manually. In either case, discard the tape; re-
use may damage the tape player.

Maintenance

The head in the cassette tape player can pick up dirt or tape
deposits each time a cassette is played. The result is low or "muddy" sound from one or both channels, as if the treble tone
control were turned all the way down. To prevent this, you should periodically clean the head with a commercially available cleaning

cassette.

As preventive maintenance, clean the head about every 30 hours of
use. If you wait until the head becomes very dirty (noticeably poor
sound), it may not be possible to remove all deposits with a simple
cleaning cassette.
The use of 120 minutes tape is not recommended.
CAUTION:
Storing cassettes out of their cases, or touching the magnetic
tape with your fingers will increase the amount of dirt that gets to

the tape head. Using low-quality "off-brand" tape will increase the
amount of tape deposits that get on the head. Both of these

practices may eventually lead to damage of the head and playing
